    Google, remember is the company that allows a "Google bombing" campaign to occur - where politically-motivated "bloggers" link each mention of a person's name to a single news article, "thus raising its profile in Google's page-ranking formula." Previous "Google-bombs" linked phrase: "flip flopper" with John Kerry and "miserable failure" with George Bush.

    Yeah, pretty funny and all that, we get it, etc., but one can just imagine the "Google bombs" that would await the heads of various federal agencies and those agencies themselves.

    Thanks, but, no thanks!
